Tell me about Miracleman

Right. I was looking for CDs in the town library, and found the Gaiman Miracleman trade (The Golden Age).

Gosh. This is rather good, isn't it? IMVHO it's better than Sandman, and I love the flexibility of Buckinhgam - some of the artwork's great, especially the Warhols (I realised the whole duplicates thing the page before they did the frames within frames) and the Paul-Auster-Esque Spy Story. It's... all so good.

But I don't know the Alan Moore stuff at all. Is that in trade, too? Should I read it? What else should I know about the Miracleman/Marvelman thing? Just curious, but I was surprised by quite how good it was. Far better than I'd have though; from what I've read overall, I'd say it's some of Gaiman's best work.

actually i'd agree that its some of gaiman's best out side of signal to noise... alan moore's run is also great, but not quites as good IMO. Moore's run is collected in three trades. there were another two uncollected issues of gaiman's run plus a limited series of short miracleman strips by various creators... none of them currently in print
